Product Description

Technical Correction Notice: The P0972TS is not a pressure transmitter. It is a LC–MTRJ multimode fiber optic patch cable engineered for Foxboro I/A Series and Foxboro Evo network infrastructure.

The P0972TS is a high-performance fiber optic interconnect used to establish EMI-immune, high-speed data links between control stations, Ethernet switches, and Address Translation Stations (ATS) within The MESH control network architecture. Featuring an LC connector on one end and an MTRJ connector on the other, this straight-through fiber assembly enables seamless integration between legacy Foxboro hardware and modern Ethernet-based systems.

Its dielectric fiber construction eliminates ground loops and electrical noise, making it essential for DCS modernization projects where copper-to-fiber transitions are required for long-distance runs or electrically noisy environments.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Applications

The P0972TS is commonly deployed in:

• Control room cabinets and DCS racks

• Foxboro P0972VA ATS to Ethernet switch connections

• EMI-sensitive industrial environments

• Multi-building or multi-grounded plant networks

Its all-dielectric design provides complete electrical isolation, making it ideal for linking equipment across different grounding zones.

Technical FAQ

Why use an LC–MTRJ hybrid cable instead of LC–LC?
Many legacy Foxboro interface modules and older network devices use MTRJ connectors, while newer Ethernet switches and FCP/ZCP controllers use LC connectors. The P0972TS bridges these two generations without adapters.

Is the P0972TS suitable for outdoor or direct-burial installation?
No. The P0972TS is an indoor-rated patch cable intended for cabinets, trays, or conduits. Outdoor or inter-building runs require armored, outdoor-rated fiber trunk cables.
